Andrew S. Currier is a British former professional rugby league footballer of the 1980s, and 90s. A Great Britain national representative goal-kicking centre, he played most of his club rugby with Widnes as well as stints with Featherstone Rovers, Warrington Wolves and Australian team the Balmain Tigers. At the time of his retirement, he was co-holder of the Widnes club record for most points in a match, with 34. He played out the last years of his career with English rugby union teams.

Son of Harry Currier, who in 1969 founded Widnes-based rugby league club, Halton Simms, Andy Currier began his professional career with Widnes. He later helped them to consecutive championships in 1988 and 1989, and then to victory in the 1989 World Club Challenge. During the 1988 Great Britain Lions tour he was flown to Australia as a replacement for the injured Garry Schofield.

Currier moved to Australia to play with Sydney club, the Balmain Tigers, and became the NSWRL's top point scorer for the 1989 season. Currier also played in the memorable 1989 Winfield Cup Grand Final loss against Canberra at the end of that season.

Currier played Centre, i.e. number 3, and scored a try in Widnes' 24-18 victory over Salford in the 1990 Lancashire County Cup Final during the 1990–91 season at Central Park, Wigan on Saturday 29 September 1990.
